Cold brew JUN2025

It was my late afternoon caffeine break and this coffee house was nearby. I ordered an iced mocha and it came out just right without being overly sweetened. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They offer seating inside and it's reasonably spacious.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Montana is a very cool hip area to hang out at and walk along it's pleasant streets.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

Cinnamon Roll
Christina D.

Was in the area & stopped by on a whim for pastries. Cinnamon roll & peanut butter cookie were delicious! The roll was light & fluffy with great flavor, & the cookie was so soft! Already love this street, so many great spots in this area & it's not too far from the beach so as far as convenience it's great if you're nearby. Staff was very friendly & our cashier (whose name I didn't catch but he was lovely! I remember he was wearing a cute tinkerbell pin!) had such a fun vibe.

I can't say enough good things about this Peet's -- and they saved me from having to search around for a new coffee shop after Starcrooks let me down after all these years. I first want to say that the people that work here are the absolute Best! They are so nice, helpful, and go the extra yard to make sure you are taken care of. Add onto to that great coffee loaded with caffeine, a happening atmosphere in the middle of Montana=giant success. Not to mention great coffee cups with the truck lid! They gave me a free one when I walked in the 1st time with a coffee cup from 10-Speed that had no stopper and the coffee was splashing out. It's been here for years, but I only recently stepped inside when my former favorite location of Starcrooks on 26th and San Vicente installed automatic coffee makers and the coffee is now S. Followed up by the Starcrooks on Montana also installing the automatic machines. It's no wonder that this Peet's business spiked over the last month with new customers--refugees from Starcrooks. Let me tell you how strong the black coffee is here: One cup keeps me me up for 3 days! (Drinking 1/3 every morning.) So if you are tired of the new bad coffee at Starcrooks or anywhere else--or bad service anywhere--come on over to Peet's and let them treat you right. Just one caveat--if you are one of the coffee shop rats that likes to bring your computer and sit at a table inside all day--better get here early especially on the weekend. They should probably rent those tables for $5 an hour.

The Golden (turmeric) latte is my favorite coffee beverage to order at Peet's and this location makes it the best. Their staff is very kind, personable & professional. They make their drinks with love & intentionality. If you're in the SaMo/Brentwood neighborhood, definitely check them out.

I almost feel bad giving a 3 star rating because the staff here is absolutely fantastic, quick, and genuinely nice, but unfortunately the food and drinks at Starbucks are much better in my opinion. I still come here pretty regularly though because it's only a block away from my work and it's good enough to satisfy me. Peet's has a nice ambience with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating and a big parking lot, so a lot of people come here to work remotely. It's a nice place to come if you want to get out of the house and work for a bit or meet some friends for a quick coffee.

All of the baristas were very nice. I also had a chocolate croissant which was delicious.

This was my first time trying Peet's Coffee and I'm happy I did! While it wouldn't be my first choice over a local spot, I find Peet's to be warm, welcoming, and tasty! The staff at this location is so friendly and fast, which really added to the experience. The shop itself seems like a great place to hangout or even get some work done. Thanks Peet's Coffee Santa Monica for the great service.

12/8/21 Quality/Quantity - Iced Caramel frappe - made well. Iced black tea with 2 pumps of vanilla - added half and half from the bar. Atmosphere - Nice to find a Peets near the new place we were staying at. Free validated self parking next door. Service - Great customer service. Thanks Sean! Went beyond and above as I forgot how to use my Peets app. So happy to take a break from their competitors. Price - $6 - frappe $3.75 - tea Total = $9.85 Owner Suggestion - Peets is always our favorite chain; as you know we try to support small local businesses; not that Peets is small. But Peets locations are too far and in between.

Their sandwiches are made with their house made bread! Delicious! Try to save room for one of their pastries or desserts. Tartine is an oasis to relax, unwind, catch up with friends, people watch.

During our last visit, we initially sat inside but it was very hot and loud inside. So we collectively ageed to sit outside which was the right move.

In the past, I've enjoyed the: **EGG SANDWICH : herb aioli, white cheddar, arugula, sweet potato bun 15.25 **TURKEY CLUB: smoked turkey, crispy chicken skin, avocado, pickle mayo 18.95 On my latest visit, My iced latte was good and i drank it in about 5 seconds, i'll admit I though it would be a little bigger. We also ordered a chocolate rye pastry of some sort ( i forget) but that was very good, and would definitely order it again.

I can see why he loves it -- the egg tarts are very custardy and rich, with a lightly eggy flavor but the sweetness from heavy cream in each bite contrasting to the flaky crust. We also got the red velvet cheesecake, which was pretty standard. The strawberry and cream cookie was massive and I loved the strawberry flavor! It was a little too sweet for me but for the average American palette is probably perfect. There's a parking lot but pretty limited seating (that gets a lot of sun), so plan on taking it to go unless you want to casually borrow a table next door...

What they do make well is coffee. I love dark black coffee and they have that and more and it is very good. Their prices are high-- I think too high. They do have a decent selection on hand. I would go there for coffee, but I won't bother with their donuts anymore. I really hope they work on making sure all donuts are fresh. Their cornbread is good.
